This show is a wonderful time to not only recognize the homegrown Canadian talent we have but also highlight the music and musicians that go past our own borders to make significant marks in the music industry worldwide. Canadian musicians have become largely respected as giants within the industry, with such names as Drake, The Weeknd, Alessia Cara, Avril Lavigne Nickelback, Sum 41, Shania Twain, Celine Dion, Rush and Bryan Adams just to name a few, climbing past the Canadian music scene. Some of these very artists have gone on to influence the very artists celebrated in the Grammys you saw last week! It is a testament to the vibrant music scene we have, as well as the initiatives and funds put in place by the government to continue to flourish the arts within Canada and showing the world we very much belong at par with all else on the world stage. Let’s do our part to keep supporting what we cultivate musically!
